Raw Chocolate Tarts
Makes: 4 servesCalories: 303Difficulty Level: HardPreparation time: 25 minutesCook time: 0 minutesTotal time: 25 minutes
Ingredients
For the base:
- 20g Bulk Nutrients WPC Chocolate
- 10 dried dates – Soaked in water + drained
- 1 tablespoon rice malt syrup
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil – Melted
- 2 tablespoons desiccated coconut
- 1/3 cup almond meal
For the filling:
- 3x Sweet William Dark Chocolate No Added Sugar Chocolate Bars (150g)
- 1 tablespoon no added sugar maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil – Melted
- 2 tablespoons cacao butter – Melted
Instructions
- Step 1: Combine all base ingredients in a processor and blend to bring together.
- Step 2: If too wet, add a little more of one of your dry ingredients such as more WPC, more almond meal or another flour base ingredient. Start with just one tablespoon at a time.
- Step 3: Press into four mini tart cases (we used 8cm Bakers Secret Loose Bottom Tartlet Cases).
- Step 4: Set aside and make the filling.
- Step 5: Melt the cacao butter first as this will take the longest. We placed in the microwave for an initial 2 minutes, stir, then 1-minute intervals after this stirring in between.
- Step 6: Add in the chocolate and coconut oil and stir to start melting. Add back into the microwave at 30-second intervals until completely melted.
- Step 7: Add in maple and stir well.
- Step 8: Spoon into each tart case the melted chocolate filling. Place flat in the fridge to set for at least one hour.
- Step 9: Once ready to enjoy add your choice of toppings like a berry or cocoa dusting, or just eat! These are best stored in the fridge for up to a week and aren't suitable for freezing.
